Frank Sinatra - Oakland Coliseum USA 1968
I first got hold of this particular concert recording a few months back, because I thought my dad would appreciate it. What surprised me, was how much I enjoyed it myself ! I know very little about Frank Sinatra 's music, beyond what I heard being played around my home as I grew up. It was a generation gap thing. I associated Frank Sinatra with my 'out of touch' parents back then, and could not understand why they failed to appreciate The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, and so on... OK this was the sixties, a long time ago. Enough about my personal Sinatra growing up thing. This is a really good concert musically and sound quality wise. I find it a little bizarre, that according to some mainstream websites, this is still considered a rarity, and yet I obtained it without effort, whatever the case, here it is!
